The weather the past week was very warm
over most of the state until August 2,
when It became generally cooler, but no
very low temperatures were rocorded. Over
many sections of the Btate the temperature,
registered 100 degrees or over during tho
closing days of July and tho first day of
August. At Orlggs, Johnson county, a tem
perature of 103 degrees was recorded on
July 31. A few light, scattered showers oc
curred during the last half of the week, but
no heavy rains were reported. Haying Is
still in progress nnd (he weather has been
favorable for that work, ns tho showers did
not materially Interfere with harvest. In
most sections of the state the crop secured
Is excellent, while In a few sections tho
crop Is short and will not average more
than two-thirds of a yield. For the stato as
a whole, however, the crop will be abovo

the state the first crop of alfalfa has been
secured and over the earlier sections tho

YANKTON, S. D., Aug. 7. (Speclal.)-
Tho Danish church organization of this
city has Joined with the Norwegian Luth
ernn nnd tho united congregations will
build a new church.
A member of tho city government stated
yesterday that the Union Pacific had aban
doned Its Idea of enlarging Its switching
yards In the northern part ot the city.
About two years ago tho Union Pacific
first tried to secure additional ground north
of the L street viaduct for the purpose of
laying additional tracks. Opposition was
encountered at almost every step In the
proceedings and It Is now'stnted that the
plan has been entirety abandoned. At the
time thu railroad company asked the coun
cil to vacate the stub ends of A, U, C, D
and E fetreets from Commercial street to
the company's right of way It made propo
sitions to thu owners of property north of
L street. Tho council hesitated about va
cating theso stub ends ot streets, although
they have never been opened and tho prices
on tho property sought by purchase went up
with umazlng rapidity. Then when It be
came evident that tho council would grant
the request of thu railroad company, upon
the representation that about J500.000 would
bo spent, certain properly owners secured
nn order of tho court restraining the conn.
ell from vacating tho stub ends ot streets
and there the matter rested.
Tho result Is that when the work now
going on In the northern part of tho city
Is completed main line passenger trains will
cut straight across and not como within a
mile and a halt ot the present Union Pacific
depot.
On recount of the abandonment of the
plans for Increased railroad yards In tho
northern part of tho city the Union Pacific
has turned Its attention to the south nnd a
day or two ago extensive Improvements
south of Albright were started. Quite
number of Bide tracks for Btoragc and
switching of cars of various sorts will be
laid and a number of other changes made
hi order to secure additional room for
trackage tho courso of Mud creek In the
vicinity of Harrison street Is to be changed
slightly. On account of this change the
Union Pacific has agreed to construct
now brldgo across the creek at Harrison
street. This will snve the city $2j0 or
thereabouts, as preparations were being
mndo for tho construction of a new bridge
by the city. Just how much money will bo
spent In tho Improvements now going on
Is not known, as all of tho estimates are
not In. Great quantities of Sherman gravol
are being unloaded In this vicinity and tho
new freight yards will be heavily ballasted
with this material.
It was stated by n railroad official yes
tcrday that on account of the cut-off In tho
northern part of the city thu Union Pacific
will not bo, Incouvenlenced In the least by
the rofusal of' the council to grant tho ro-
quest made two years ago.

A couple of months ago the city sold to

to scud to Lincoln for this and some little

Tomorrow Is circus day and any man who

outgrow tho Joys of a moonlight picnic; but
tno circus the thrilling, whooping Joy of
tho circus never dies.
The circus progrnm promises many sur

who has acquired a European fame, second

"I have a bottle of Perun.i and Mattalln
In use in my bouse two-thirds of tho time.
I if I take It when feeling a little Indisposed
, It braces tno right up, and keups ntu In su it
, flno condition that I don't catch cold, and
that Is life and happiness to one of my busi
ness. 1 am a teamster, and when tho mein-
i brane of my nose I swollen at night after
driving In our east winds nnd fogs, I take a
I dose of Peruna nn going to bed nt night
and get up nil right In the morning. It
also makes the blood circulate, nnd Is Miro
death to rheumatism." Mr. K. E. Urackotl
If you do not derive ptompt and satisfac
tory results from the use of Peruna, write
at once to Dr. Ilnrtman, giving n full state

(Vurrh Is n systemic disease, nut a local
disease. If Perunn will cure catarrh In
one place It will cure It In nny other place,
because Portinn Is a systemic remedy. It
reaches the disease through the circulation
In each organ. It eradicates tho dlsi'iuo
by eradicating It from tho system.
Peruna eradicates catarrh from the ys
tem In the snme way that tho practical
farmer eradicates weeds from his fields,
Tho (.onslble farmer docs not think of cut
ting on" the top of the weeds to kill them,
He pulls theju up by the roots.
Dr Hartman, tho nrlglnntor of Peruna,
has usrd this remedy for tho lust forty
yenrs with grenl success as a Hpeclllc for
catarrh
A free book written by him will be sent

Is the one State whore one may tell

A la.y man wouldn't enjoy fishing

There would be no time to read his

THE Pan-American, to be held at Buffalo, N. Y., May 1
to Nov. 1, will be one of the greatest and most beauti
ful expositions the world has known. To enjoy its
beauties will be worth any effort. The question of traveling
to and from Buffalo is one to be carefully considered. You
will desire to travel by the route affording the most comfort
and interest. The return trip, too, must be considered, as
after you have done the Exposition, Buffalo, Niagara Falls
and vicinity, you'll be tired and wish to reach home quickly.
Lake Shore
and nichigan Southern Railway
as the leading line to Buffalo by reason of the frequency of
its trains and the certainty and punctuality of their move
ment will best meet this requirement. It is the only double
track line, and the completeness of its service eight
through trains daily among them the only daylight train,
places it at the forefront among Eastern roads. The country
traversed is the fairest and richest of the Middle States
the most interesting on the way to Buffalo.
